The blackwinged night
The blackwinged night: creativity in nature and mind
F. David Peat
Publisher: Cambridge, Mass. : Perseus, 2000.
ISBN: 0738202053   LCC: Q172.5  

Summary:

"What does the creation of matter in the universe have to do with
humanity's creative spirit? What is the connection between, on the
one hand, art, literature, and music, and, on the other hand,
mathematical formulae and scientific theories? Taking an over-arching
scientific view of the universe and our place in it,
scientist-philosopher F. David Peat explores the profound
similarities and connections between the Universe's "creativity,"
which reveals itself in the laws of nature and in the creativity of
human consciousness. Peat provides an unparalleled view of the
origins of the universe and asks: What acts transform matter into
art? And how does creativity enter into the lives of each of
us?"--BOOK JACKET.
